River Plate once again showed vulnerability away from home and suffered a 2-0 defeat against Vélez Sarsfield, this Saturday for the third round of the Argentine First Division League.
The Fortin won with attitude, as if it were playing a final, in a match played on a cold and rainy night in the Liniers neighborhood of Buenos Aires.
Claudio Aquino (22) opened the scoring for the home team, which is just three points above the relegation zone in the annual table, and in the second half Santiago Castro (60) increased the lead, when Vélez was already dominating and Franco Armani had come up with two more saves to prevent further goals.
River suffered its second defeat in three matches in the Liga de la Liga, in addition to going six games without a victory away from the Monumental Stadium.
After a very poor campaign in the Liga Profesional, where it was second to last for several matchdays, Vélez improved with the arrival of coach Sebastián Méndez and has only lost two of its last ten matches.
Independiente, led by 'Apache' Carlos Tevez, achieved its second consecutive victory, a very important one to move away from the bottom of the annual table, by defeating Gimnasia y Esgrima 2-1 away from home.
The team from La Plata got off to a bad start in the championship and the third defeat in three matches led to the departure of coach Sebastián Romero.
